    I would like to know, currently, I need to buy a new notebook because my other one had an accident. My insurance company referred me to a shop and they sell a quite good G1sn, which is the G1sn-x1 and a low m51.

    I would like to know, what notebook is the best, the g1sn or the m50/51? I'm asking this because I may be able to order it directly from asus with the shop so Should I go for the currently available G1sn or ask for a m50/51 of the same quality?

    I hope you understand what I mean, if you have any question, feel free to ask.
